Leifur James: PPL Momentum
Leifur James Tour 2021 / New album
London based experimental producer and composer, Leifur James will embark on an EU tour following the release of his highly anticipated second album ‘Angel in Disguise’, on the 5th June 2020 via Night Time Stories (sister label to the coveted ‘LateNightTales’).
Traversing through musicality, progressive synths and introspection, the first single unveils the producer’s distinct sound with disorientated vocals; speaking of the interplay between reason and emotion, the lyrics repeat “Wise old man in my brain, soul bursting through my veins”, opening the gates to this captivating electronically steered opus.
Showcasing a more experimental side to his production, this new album comes after an incredible few years for the artist. 2018 saw James release his esteemed debut LP A Louder Silence on Night Time Stories and follow up remix EP that championed upcoming electronic talent including Bruce, FaltyDL and Whities producer, Coby Sey, on rework duties; projects which captured the attention of key tastemakers including Resident Advisor, Pitchfork, Mixmag, Electronic Sound and Future Music UK.
In 2019 James teamed up with Hungarian director, Balázs Simon; producing the critically acclaimed, ‘Wurlitzer’ project which saw widespread support from Boiler Room, CLASH, Directors’ Notes, Motionographer, the UK and Berlin Music Video Awards, the London Short Film Festival, Dublin International Film Festival and more.
James’ tour will kick off in October 2021 performing his biggest headline London show to date at London’s acclaimed Village Underground. The Momentum fund will support immersive live audio visual experiences across the tour and development of a third album.
